The full trailer for Toxic: A Fairytale for Grown-Ups dropped on August 8, 2026, revealing Yash in a dual role as Raya and Ticket — a father and son on opposite sides of the film's central conflict (Variety). Trailers went live across Hindi, Telugu and Kannada on Yash's official Instagram account, @thenameisyash, carrying the promotional hashtags #ToxicTheMovie, #ToxicTrailer and #ToxicOn26thAug (Instagram).

Geetu Mohandas directs the film, produced by KVN Productions and Monster Mind Creations. The cast brings together Nayanthara, Kiara Advani, Tara Sutaria, Rukmini Vasanth and Huma Qureshi alongside Yash. Behind the camera, Indian National Film Award winner Rajeev Ravi handled cinematography, and J.J. Perry — the Hollywood stunt coordinator whose credits include John Wick and Fast & Furious — designed the action choreography (Variety).

Lionsgate is distributing the film across select international territories — a notable pickup for a production rooted in Kannada-language cinema. The film was shot simultaneously in Kannada and English, with dubbed versions prepared for Hindi, Telugu, Tamil and Malayalam (Variety). Toxic is scheduled for worldwide theatrical release on August 26.

The trailer caps a steady seven-month marketing build. An "Introducing Raya" video arrived in January 2026 (YouTube), followed by an official Hindi teaser in February (YouTube), a "Ladies & Ladies" music video in June (YouTube), and a teaser trailer on July 21 (Instagram). The earliest glimpse came as a "Birthday Peek" released by Monster Mind Creations in January 2025 (YouTube).

For audiences, the draw is Yash carrying two characters whose conflict sits at the heart of the story — a structure that invites the kind of dramatic face-off that has defined his recent work. The international credentials attached — Perry's action design, Rajeev Ravi's lens, Lionsgate's distribution — signal a production scaled for audiences well beyond its home market.
